My mom is stressed about bills. Wants to move, and i want to help bc she's been helping me while ive been pregnant. 

For those wondering i worked up till 5 months, the money saved all went to my car so i have nothing left. So i have worked..

 

My new question is.. Will anyone let me work for them at 6months pregnant?

I  believe He can provide for anything He appoints.  I don't pretend to know how  He intends to provide for you, but I am dead certain  He  will.

Thank you. My only alternative is just taking out more loans... Which i may do.

If I'm butting in deeper than i should, forgive me.  But I want to suggest that  taking on debt, especially for daily "consumption", in most cases is not wise.

Quote
The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.

We should have ONE ruler over our life and if we subject ourselves to a lender it is very possible to get ourselves into a position where we are unable  to respond to Him with  full obedience without breaking an oath  to repay.  That is not  a situation He wants us in.

If we can simply trust that He funds what His will is, and wait  for Him to do that His way, we can escape that potential trap.  It may mean a period of enduring not  having all we desire, but the price of getting out of debt (bondage) can be very, very high.

It  is much easier to bow the knee to a banker than it can be to wait on Him sometimes...but  it is  worth  it.   I'd just ask you to be very reticent and check with Him before taking on debt, for any reason.

I marvel at how many churches burden their congregations with  egregious debt to pay off in the name of pursuing a vision.  I lost a position on a church board one time for taking that stance and got told I lacked faith :)   Presumption is not faith....

Sound advice my dear brother and dear sister, please do take to heart that which has been shared, oftentimes when we act in haste, it will be all the harder to find our way out of the bind we put ourselves in. Think beyond the birth, how long would it take to get another job and start earning etc..., just saying, and as always, I hope this helps, God bless.

If you can avoid a loan I would, but if you have to, try to have a rough idea of how you'll be able to pay it off and when you'll be able to start. Then increase your estimates on how long it will take you to get back to work and how long it will take you to pay the debt off by around 50-100% to help account for the unexpected. The change in hormones from pregnancy to post-pregnancy can certainly be rough on a person. Based on your situation you seem to have a lot of stress factors in your life as is without the pressure of a loan to pay off adding to it.

I think you should ask God that question. Tell Him your needs and then sit back and see what He does.

I worked when I was pregnant. I didn’t like it I was so huge but it’s better than going into debt with loans. If you ask me. Debt will haunt you for years. While you’re young just work. It’s easier in the long run. Debt will chase you down and maim you.

That's a great idea!   I hear some companies even hire people to answer the phone at home....but representing their company.   There must be some websites out there about home employment.

I also think it's best to avoid any loans, if possible.
